CU Buffs' WR returning this fall after 2012 knee injury

After watching Paul Richardson practice this spring, new Colorado wide receivers coach Troy Walters said he believes the fleet-footed junior is a legitimate candidate for the Belitnikoff Award.

Walters knows a thing or two about what it takes to earn that honor having won the award in 1999 as a senior at Stanford.

So it was no surprise Tuesday when Richardson appeared as one of 75 wide receivers across the nation named to the preseason watch list for the award given annually to the best receiver in the nation. It is the second time Richardson has been on the watch list. He was added to the list three weeks into his sophomore season two years ago.

Richardson has averaged 14.6 yards per catch in the 21 games in which he has played. He has 73 career catches for 1,069 yards and 11 touchdowns and still hasn't played a complete season in Boulder because of injuries.
